SUBROUTINE EDITOB(object)INTEGER*4 object

Description

The editobj subroutine opens a display list for editing. The system initializes an editing pointer to the end of the newly opened object. It appends all new routines at that pointer location until there is a call to the closeobj subroutine or to one that repositions the editing pointer, such as the objdelete, objinsert, or objreplace subroutines.

Usually it is not necessary to be concerned about memory allocation. Objects grow and shrink automatically as routines are added and deleted.

A call for an undefined object identifier causes the system to display an error message.

Note: This editing subroutine itself cannot be added to a
display list.

Parameter

object

Specifies identifier for object definition to edit.
